Join our local estate neighbourhood organised mini holiday

2007-05-21T00:01:00.000+08:00

It wasn't a holiday planned but a homely normal summer june break this year. But since we think a deserved gettaway is necessary and ideal for the family, thus we crack it up and join a no fuss simple up bound towards west malaysia , in pahang, in the upper mountains , at Genting!

So Genting Highlands is destined for a 3days and 2 nights stay in the 500ft(1700m) high hotel with laid back entertainment for all.

A cool getaway – a popular weekend resort – 6,000 feet above sea level, approx. 1 hour drive from Kuala Lumpur.

Highlights:
· A cable car ride is for the asking; Game on!
· A Theme Park awaits you with roller coaster to boat rides;
· A casino to win some money; thats not in our plans nor motive unFORTUNATELY
